# Game Server - Containerized Method

A game server to provide simple games, intended for testing of strategies, AI, and general playing around. As such, do not expect strong anti-cheat mechanisms, or really much of anything other than an impartial game server that can run separately from the client code.

## Present State

Dreaming it up.

## Architecture

All of this is brand new to me, so expect mistakes and amateur moves.

Giving [FastAPI](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/) a shot.
FastAPI inherits [starlette](https://www.starlette.io/), so look into that functionality some day, too.
Expects a redis container/cluster somewhere to store data.

### API Notes

At this point, almost all operations use POST

### Notes for myself

FastAPI recommendation is "if your \[function\] doesn't have to communicate with anything else and wait for it to respond, use `async def` instead of `def`".
